NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, had an insufficiently strict content security policy on the Chrome app launcher page, which allowed a remote attacker to inject scripts or HTML into a privileged page via a crafted HTML page.
